Commentary
Right now, we have many more questions than reporting on this accident answers. However, based on what we know, I can say that anytime someone is injured on the job, their employer will usually have a workers’ comp policy that will step in an handle things for the injured employee. Workers’ comp law will typically bar an employee from filing a claim against their employer, however, if a third party is involved in an accident, they won’t be barred from filing an injury claim against them. Again, reports on this accident offer very few details as to what happened, but people hurt in these situations should make sure and do some research so that they’re aware of all their options.
